Courageous conversations with bold humans (from the most creative little capital in the world).
Laurinda Thomas, Advocate for libraries, digital equity, and public spaces.
Curious librarian, local government person, optimist. I like kicking the tyres on stuff. I was once called the consummate public servant and I’m still not quite sure how to take that comment.
My career keeps on coming back to libraries. They’re so amazing! Who would dream up a library these days? I love their potential, the people they can help. They are such satisfying places to make things happen.
I like to make things happen. Finding the best opportunities out of a crisis. Getting in the thin end of the wedge. Figuring stuff out. My career has been about turning problems into good stuff: in libraries, IT, archives, information management.
In the weekends I watch the kids swim and the broccoli grow. Sometimes it rains, and we watch Disney movies.
